Prior to the 2012-2013 season, the New York Knicks re-acquired three former players: Raymond Felton, Marcus Camby, and Kurt Thomas. This promoted the Knicks saying of “When you’re a Knick, you’re a Knick for life!”.
Upcoming free agents Jamal Crawford and Jeremy Lin, who has since—agreed to terms with the Brooklyn Nets—left the door open to a return to New York this summer. Both players were successful during their time in New York.
There are many pending free agents who once played for the Knicks at one point in their respective careers. Additionally, these players had some sort of success on the team.
